    the ones doing the sit-in are a fraction of a fraction.

    It’s that way in most industries. Leftists, especially ones willing to get fired over anti-imperialism, are rare everywhere in the U.S.

    I broadly agree there’s less potential for radicalization in the tech sector compared to many industries, it just might not be as comparatively bad as it looks, because it’s not great most places.

    they’ve been pushing RTO, and now (as of early last year at the very latest) they have been requiring full time in-office participation again

    This is what I’m saying – people didn’t roll over, they had to be forced back to the office. You still have people clinging to whatever WFH time they have left.

      people didn’t roll over, they had to be forced back to the office.

      Over these last four years I saw more “we should be given the choice” and “if you work from home efficiently that’s fine but I don’t” from my colleagues & peers than making remote-only the red line it should have been for all of us. There is no choice if the line is crossed even once. The owning class didn’t have to force anything, not really. There were enough “compradors” holding the door open for them when they decided they’d played the game long enough. That’s what I mean by “rolling over”; that should not have been allowed to happen, but it was.
